How to create an app without mobile #

MaariJuani · 2014-02-08T12:57:46.000Z

an API is made for machines not for humans
scientists use the API separately from their own account to study data
plenty of Twitter users are not individuals but organisations
and so on…"

Completely agree.

I was noticed after my request to try again within 24 hours and I confirm it is now working again, with the only requirement of being logged with the same account under dev.twitter.com and twitter.com which seems totally reasonable!

Thanks for listening guys!

Same here. Just need a simple OAuth to post tweets from PHP script, stuck at mobile registration as carriers are not supported or sms just don’t get sent.
This mobile authentication step is insane.

It’s asking my mobile yet to create an application. @GazouMedialab, did you change something in your account? Perhaps it’s because I had created my twitter account before?

GazouMedialab · 2014-02-11T11:54:07.000Z

@meteo_toledo: I asked through the support form given by @froginthevalley maybe that’s a requirement still?

Very frustrated with the new changes. I am setting up a new website and need to integrate twitter.

This needs to be fixed guys! Ridiulious…

Wondering how to create an app for twitter without adding a mobile # to an account.

Thanks

Maybe this can help some people?
Same problem for me: Twitter does not support my carrier
I connected my mobile with long code procedure https://support.twitter.com/articles/14226-how-to-find-your-twitter-short-code-or-long-code
After doing this I could create my new Twiiter app (giving me the needed tokens & secrets)

Pantoufleurs · 2014-02-15T15:22:13.000Z

Same problem here, carrier not supported and no way to get an api key… Trying to ask support now…

ScamMeNot · 2014-02-18T06:46:59.000Z

All I wanted to do, for starters, was allow people to login to my website by using Twitter credentials… I guess that won’t be possible. Both Facebook and Google provide an alternate means of doing this. Twitter fail! Shameful really.

EJdVKASBANK · 2014-02-18T09:27:25.000Z

When I go to the form and try to submit, I get an “Error on page” and nothing happens…
How can I create an application without a mobile phone?

Thanks

mekoeneko · 2014-02-18T10:27:38.000Z

Have the same problem, I wrote to support.

hagermMagdy · 2014-02-18T11:35:23.000Z

how please I need help

techtadpole · 2014-02-18T22:47:00.000Z

Totally ridiculous. I have one twitter account for the organisation I work for, and one twitter account for my personal website. Both of which I want to use the API, but I can only have one or the other as I cant reuse my mobile number!

So I have to choose between using my personal number for the company I work for, or using my number for my personal website! What happens if I want to manage the twitter accounts for other organisations?!

Why do I even need to give a phone number? According to your official response, found at https://dev.twitter.com/discussions/4236 , the account doesn’t need to be a “human being”.

Why is a phone number required for a ‘non-human’ account?

BlachReport · 2014-02-19T12:57:43.000Z

This is indeed ridiculous. A company - or a human being for that matter - doesn’t necessarily have a smartphone.

wasawi · 2014-02-19T17:29:55.000Z

Ridiculous. Shame on them.

AndesBaseCamp · 2014-02-19T20:28:49.000Z

Dear Twitter developement team,

As you can see, we are all frustrated. After telling you our anger, frustration and dissappointment I am really looking forward to get a solution for my problem.

Is there a chance you can tell me all my access token etc. so I can finally implement my twitter feed to my website? I still can’t create an app…

dikyorum · 2014-02-19T22:32:46.000Z

same here. This is totally non-sense, why would I want to link my number with my twitter account? There should be other ways of stopping spammers.

fredrikstolpe · 2014-02-20T08:27:22.000Z

Same problem here! Really frustrating!

Twitter, your solution is obviously not working - please remove the mobile phone registration demand from the app creation procedure until you have fixed it!

Vyveeeee · 2014-02-20T14:19:01.000Z

I have the same problem that everyone, I am in France and this country is not supported by twitter to send mobile confirmation. How can i get the API key, I can’t create a new application, it is really frustrating!!
